PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Curt Champion (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Iva Hadenov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hadenov has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Iva Hadenov will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.

The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Champion closes the distance, clinches up and gets a nice trip takedown into side control. Very smooth. We could do with one of the fighters taking the initiative a bit more on the ground - they're both waiting to capitalize on a mistake. Champion looking to punish the body of his opponent here but Hadenov is avoiding damage well.
Champion controls the position from side control. The ref warns both fighters not to hold the cage as they work up against the meshing. Hadenov avoids any damage from the ground and pound of Champion. Hadenov looks winded! Champion remains in side control and seems content to stay there. It's a versatile position from which he can work both strikes and submissions, whilst maintaining that control, so maybe he'll sit here for a while. Champion is working for what looks like an arm triangle here. Hadenov is trying to escape and Champion transitions quickly into an armbar! He's slapped it on tight and Hadenov is forced to tap! Nice work there by Champion! Very nice indeed!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:56 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Curt Champion!
